* SDC 15 - Teaching Vocational English As A Second Language
Hours: Each of the above
modules provides ten hours of instruction, except PDC 7 and SDC 15, which are twenty hours of instruction.
Strengths: Part of a national
effort to improve individuals as instructors in the trade.
Considerations: Each of
the modules listed above could be used to renew an individual
holding Part-Time Approval certification. The module would have
to be completed during the certification renewal period. If an
individual holding Part-Time Approval certification completed
two of these modules, starting after May 1 of the last year of
the renewal period, one would be counted for one renewal period
and the second could be used for the next renewal period.
This national program does include other modules
that help to prepare the individual as a better worker in the
industry. These modules cannot be recognized for renewal.
Prior Year
Approved activities are current.
